- NIH State-of-the-Science Conference: Management of the Clinically Inapparent Adrenal Mass (Incidentaloma) - Day 1
-
- - Sponsored by OMAR, NICHD, NCI, and NIDDK (2010/03/04)
- - Category : Conferences
- Clinically inapparent adrenal masses are discovered inadvertently, in the course of diagnostic testing or
treatment for other conditions, and thus are commonly known as incidentalomas. Improvements in
abdominal imaging techniques and technologies have resulted in the detection of an increasing number
of adrenal incidentalomas.
When detected, the clinically inapparent adrenal mass raises challenging questions for physicians and
their patients. For example, should the mass be removed? Is a nonsurgical approach indicated? What
risks are associated with either approach? Because the incidence of these masses increases with age,
appropriate management of adrenal tumors will be a growing challenge in our aging society.

- - Category : Conferences
- Recent biomedical research has offered human society some of the most innovative and productive scientific discoveries. The many advances have broadened our knowledge of life and the human organism. While this is a vast story, it can be effectively explored through the insights of the scientists who have been instrumental in the development of biomedical research. This symposium will enlist the personal experiences of three scientists who shaped the field of biomedicine: Dr. Donald S. Fredrickson, Dr. Julius Axelrod, and Dr. Joshua Lederberg. The scientists will discuss their respective contributions to the administration of the U.S. biomedical research establishment, the investigation of the nervous system, and the rise of genetics as a discipline.
